Hello AZ1Smith,
have you experienced the stalling/no start condition again since the heat last summer? I have not had any trouble with mine, but it has not seen the temperatures yet to induce the problem. I was reading another forum this morning and came across the thread below and thought it may be worth a read for you.
One thing I did not notice on my when the issue occurs is whether the security light continues to blink or not. I will certainly be on the lookout for that condition the next time I experience the not starting condition.

The symptoms described above are very similar to that which I have read and experienced on MBenz. I was driving at about 85m/h when my car stalled. After research, it turned out to be a crankshaft position sensor (knock sensor). These fail in many cars in high temperatures and require a certain time for the engine to cool down before restart. I later became an expert in changing these on my e320/350. The parts cost under $60 for the cars I mentioned. BTW, I am here researching common probs on Lexus LXs and Land cruisers as I am interested in buying one for my wife.

For the second time in about six months my 2006 LX 470 has stalled in 100 degree "plus" heat while stopped at an intersection after an hour or two of in town driving. My vehicle is used to seeing these temperatures. After the first occurrence the Lexus dealer had it for a week and could not duplicate it, nor give me an idea what the problem might be. An independent mechanic I talked to said it could be vapor lock caused by using "non" name brand gasoline. Since then I've been using Chevron and it did not stall again, until today. Any ideas?
